Jessie hadn't even processed his insult. Her focus was fixed on the terrifying scene before them.
Were they witnessing the true extent of a D-rank dungeon? Dungeons varied even within the same rank—some D-rank barely E-rank difficulty, others approaching the terror of a C-rank. The beasts within ranged from level 11 to level 20.
The giant scorpion towered before them, its obsidian carapace glistening with a venomous sheen under the dim dungeon light. Its three tails twisted like serpents—dripping thick, luminous green liquid that hissed every time it touched the sand.
The air itself seemed to vibrate as the creature's mandibles clicked, emitting a low, guttural screech. The smaller scorpions behind it trembled—not from fear, but obedience.
Ash craved an Inspect skill at this point, He had been offered one before but had chosen something more alluring. Now he regretted that decision, wishing to know the scorpion's exact level and stats.
